CRUSTY FRENCH BREAD
I adore this recipe for it's simplicity and versitility! I have added everything from cinnamon sugar to garlic and cheese to this bread, and it still turns out beautifully every single time! If you have the time, this bread really benefits if allowed one single, overnight rise covered in the fridge. The yeast flavors develop perfectly, and the texture is much nicer.

YOUR OWN CRUSTY FRENCH BREAD
My father got this recipe some 40+ years ago at TWA. Crusty yet chewy outside - melt in your mouth inside. Smear with garlic butter and watch it disappear! I've taken a photo showing the bread in the hand formed foil baking pans, this is the 2nd rise. Final picture is fresh out of the oven.

Steps:
- Dissolve yeast in very warm water.
- Stir well.
- Let proof for 10 minutes.
- Stir in 2 cups of the flour, sugar and salt until mixture is smooth; gradually beat in enough of the remaining 5 cups flour to make stiff dough.
- (Kitchen Aid is perfect for this).
- Turn out onto lightly floured pastry cloth or board and knead 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic, adding only enough more flour to keep dough from sticking.
- Return to bowl; brush top with soft shortening or oil and cover with clean towel or plastic wrap.
- Let rise till double in bulk in warm place away drafts (approximately 45-60 minutes).
- Punch dough down; cover; let rise again for 30 minutes (again in warm place away from drafts) or until double in bulk.
- While dough rises, make boat shaped baking pans as follows:.
- Tear off 3 twenty-inch-long sheets of heavy aluminum foil.
- Fold in sides of foil approximately 1"-1 1/2" on all 4 sides to form baking pan, this will allow the bread to rise up and not spread out into a flat shaped loaf by folding the short ends together to seal, pressing thumb inside to round slightly (shape into boat)with shortest ends slightly rounded.
- Spray with PAM and sprinkle lightly with corn meal.
- Punch dough down, knead 1 minute on lightly floured pastry cloth or board.
- Divide dough into thirds.
- Roll out with the palm of your hands to a rope approximately 18 inches long; place in prepared foil pan.
- Repeat with remaining two-thirds dough.
- Make 3-4 evenly spaced shallow cuts diagonally in the top of each loaf; brush with warm water and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Cover with clean towel and let rise in warm place away from drafts till double in bulk (approx. 30 min).
- Preheat oven to 450º.
- Place dish (I use an old aluminum pie plate) on lower shelf of oven and fill half way with hot tap water.
- Slide loaves on shelf above water.
- Bake for 15 minutes in 450º oven; reduce heat to 350º and bake 30 minutes longer.
- Bread is done when tapped and gives a hollow sound.
- Remove immediately from pans and let cool on cooling racks.
- Slice bread- spread each side with garlic butter- reassemble bread loaf and return to foil pans.
- Unfold edges to cover and warm in low oven (325º) till butter melts into bread.
- Serve warm.

My husband's grandmother was famous for this bread. They lived in France for awhile so this should be the real deal. Also, very nice for those of us without bread machines!

- In a large bowl, combine the flour, yeast, sugar, and salt. Hand-whisk until well combined. Gradually stir in the warm water (test the temperature with thermometer to ensure it’s right around 110F) and stir until a dough forms. The consistency should be roughly like play-dough, not too sticky but easily forms into a smooth/elastic dough ball. Add 1 TB water at a time as needed to gain that consistency.
- On a lightly floured surface, knead dough 10 minutes. Shape into a ball, place into a well-oiled bowl, and turn dough to lightly coat in oil. Cover bowl tightly with cling wrap and place bowl in a warm, draft-free place until doubled in volume, 30-60 minutes.
- Gently punch dough down and divide in half. Place on lightly floured surface, cover, and let sit 10 minutes. Roll each half into approx. 14×9 inch rectangle. Roll rectangle up lengthwise, moisten edges with water, and pinch tightly to seal. Taper and seal ends.
- Line baking sheet with parchment paper. Sprinkle evenly with cornmeal. Place loaves seam side down on sheet. Cut diagonal slits into loves on top, about 1/4 inch deep. Brush loaves with egg/water mixture. Gently lay cling wrap over loaves and place in a draft-free warm place until nearly doubled in size, about 30 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 375F with rack on lower middle position. Place a large pan of water on lowest rack.
